How to Save Electricity, by Michael Bluejay. Terrifically useful information in an excruciating drink-from-the-firehose format. Check out the rest of the site for similarly interesting and well-informed writing packed into sprawling HTML table-based eyesores.

  • Is this guy trying to save electricity by not cuttins his hair? Hmm...maybe it offers some sort of insulation. I dunno. I haven't had that much hair since I was 16.
  • Perhaps I could save electricity by learning to type words like "cutting" correctly.
  • is he Willie Wonka's brother?
  • Charging up the Oompa Loompa's every night would really make that bill skyrocket.
  • Not if they're solar powered.
  • That would explain those fabulous hair styles. By the way, good thing Wonka-boy doesn't start messing with good, old fashioned, high-powered tube amplifiers. He'd surely crapola his pants.
  • Hooray! I get to feel smug, because I have none of those things! (Washer, dryer, dishwasher, air conditioning, central heating, internet access at home.) But really, I am just cold, and not really looking forward to the weekly trip to the laundromat.
  • Cool. Also the site has a guide to which rechargeable batteries are best. (didn't know you could charge alkaline batteries)
